Solar across PECO's southeastern Pennsylvania territory
PECO serves Philadelphia and the surrounding Delaware, Montgomery, Bucks, and Chester county suburbs. Row homes, twins, and post-war ranches all work for solar with the right design, and we handle the PECO interconnection paperwork from application to permission to operate.
Net Metering with PECO
PECO participates in Pennsylvania's net metering program, which Pennsylvania requires of every investor-owned electric distribution company in the state. When your system generates more electricity than your home uses, the excess goes to the grid and you earn kilowatt-hour credits. Those credits offset your usage during times when your panels produce less, like evenings or cloudy days.
Billing After Solar
Your PECO bill still includes a fixed customer charge and distribution fees. The generation portion, usually the biggest part of the bill, gets offset by the energy your panels produce and the net metering credits you have banked. During high-production months, your bill may drop to the basic service charges.
Credit Rollover and True-Up
Credits are applied at the full retail rate during the billing period and carry forward month to month. Pennsylvania runs a 12-month rolling cycle, and at the annual true-up any remaining excess credits are compensated at the price-to-compare rate, which is typically lower than retail. We size every system to match your household's actual usage, so you are not overproducing and losing value at the lower payout.
Interconnection with PECO
We handle the interconnection process with PECO from the initial application through final approval.
Site Assessment and Design
We evaluate your property and energy usage to design a system that fits your needs. Historic districts and tight city lots may require careful fire-setback and structural planning, and we are experienced with urban installs.
Interconnection Application
We submit the interconnection application to PECO on your behalf. This notifies the utility that a solar system will be connected to their distribution network.
Utility Review and Approval
PECO reviews the application to confirm the system meets their technical requirements. Most residential systems are approved without issue.
Installation and Meter Upgrade
Once approved, we install the system and coordinate with PECO for the bi-directional meter installation, which tracks energy flowing in both directions. Pennsylvania requires the utility to provide that meter at no additional cost.
Permission to Operate
After a final inspection, PECO grants permission to operate. Your system starts producing power and earning net metering credits.
